I finally found the modern audience stuck between the couch cushions

[DecadeRiptide]

Looks good to me

[Oyster Sauce]

[Vergil]

Time Takers? More like Fudge Packers oh!

[Vergil]

It won't be taking much time for this one to fail oh!

I assume Concord 3 was Highguard, but what was nr 2?

I think Highguard was 2 while Marathon is 3.

It is 2026 and Lawbreakers is forgotten.

Yea it's not exactly like these games flopping was new, concord just got the most attention. Everyone who wants to play these games is already playing one.

You motherfuckers better remember the gem of a game called Brink.

[rusty_shackleford]

probably market space for a hero shooter that has characters that don't look ******** and also isn't ruined with hats

Brink has more concurrent players than both Concord and Highguard

They really need stop targetting 12 year olds with these games. Kids want edgy stuff where heads explode and you can impale people on spike traps and I too. Like in Bulletstorm.

Basically everything you thought was cool at 12 actually is cool

[Tweed]

It takes talent to try so hard to make COOL and INTERESTING characters who all still manage to look as generic as ****.

That game was fun tho.

It's what happens when you overthink.

Oh nope, its just that game wasnt directed at the "modern audience", quite the opposite.

Btw time to rewatch this again:

[rusty_shackleford]

If I were to critique this, I'd just say I don't get the characters. The entire point of a hero shooter to make unique characters that have easily identifiable traits, these are just… characters.

Look at how effortlessly Valve conveyed these concepts in their first trailer:



(I'm not a TF2 fan FYI, it's just a very well done example)

You could argue that it's not fair to compare a trailer… I guess? IDK. Here's the trailer for the game in the OP:


It doesn't actually establish the characters, the entire trailer is busy telling you about their Totally Unique and Original Setting!

Hyenas - Concord Zero
Aborted too soon. Goodnight sweet prince, a shame you didn't lose Capcom even more money.

Hyenas - Concord Zero

Oh man you awoke a repressed memory of mine. That game absolutely deserves a spot among the Concordlikes.

With 12 I played pokemon and Ocarina of Time/Mario/Smash Bros, Mario Card tho. Most edgy stuff I had was battle chess on PC where you got monty python dark knight references at that age.

yeah I think the options arround 1996 were not that big yet anyway PS1 was like 1-2 years old and no xbox in sight. Doom was like 3years old. But I doubt they would have sold that to me in the shop...

it was what caused them to devote less resources towards Total War: Warhammer as well
